Many cars are labeled  ‘luxury vehicles’, but few ever achieve the balanced fusion of  refinement, elegance and usability.  Not to brag, but the Madison Jaguar XF at our Madison dealer found this ultimate sweet spot and has two consecutive “Best Executive Car” awards to prove it.  Every year, Autotropolis issues a list of the top executive cars and in 2009, this Jag remains comfortably atop this well-deserved pedestal.

The Ultimate Executive Suite

Why exactly is this award so distinguished?  It’s all in the name.  The word executive implies someone who controls, manages, and leads an organization.  An executive is a decision maker who has climbed the corporate hierarchy and faced-down challenges.  Thus, Autotropolis’s award is meant to honor vehicles that accurately reflect the accomplishments of a executive who also encompasses a contemporary ‘posh refinement’.

The process of finding a great car can be far more complicated than just ending up with a great car. It’s a process in which you deal with plenty of people who have the ability to make the different situations either a pleasure or a total nightmare. If you’re looking for a nightmare, I’m not sure where to point you, but if you’re looking for an easy, fun and professional experience, the people at J.D. Power and Associates would argue that Jaguar is the place to find that. For the second year in a row, they have named Jaguar the best in customer service.

Madison dealers Fields Jaguar of Madison are very excited about this award. J.D. Power’s Index Study Ranking measured customers’ level of happiness with the dealership that they purchased their vehicle from, along with their satisfaction of service for the first three years they owned their vehicles. Out of all the cars surveyed, customers were most satisfied with their Jaguar dealers and service. Continue Reading…

I have a friend who has been traveling around the U.S. following his favorite bands, living out of his car. He calls every so often to tell me about how it’s going and before he hangs up, he insists on going on a 20-minute rant about how uncomfortable living out of his car is. I have to use every restraint I have to tell him “I told ya so” but I just listen, then wish him luck and wait for the next phone call. The other day I stopped in at at Madison dealer to take a look around and saw the new Madison Jaguar XK, and let me tell you, if my friend were living out of this car, he would have absolutely no complaints. In fact, he’d probably extend his trip. I might even join him.

The Jaguar XK is one of the most luxurious and refined cars I have ever seen. Both the interior and exterior are elegant yet modern and completely functional for everyday use.

The XK comes available in either a coupe or a convertible body. Both styles offer a shockingly large trunk with a ton of cargo space and plenty of room in the back for both passengers or even more cargo room. Or a place to sleep if you happen to be traveling across the U.S. in it…

And it would get you coast to coast in a hurry if necessary. With a 4.2 liter V8 engine that produces 300 horsepower and a 0-60 time of 5.6, this engine packs quite a punch. Still, it possesses very smooth acceleration and a surprisingly quiet cabin, despite all of its strength.

Plus, the 2009 Madison Jaguar XK comes fully equipped with some amazing features. It receives elegant touches like wood trim, but a more modern appearance is an option with aluminum trim. It also boasts 19 inch wheels, a front parking sensor, surround sound audio system with satellite radio, a USB input, and power folding mirrors.

I haven’t mentioned any of this to my friend yet. I figure I should just wait until he comes back and take him along on one of my Jaguar test drives to show him how living could be. But you can come in now to find out what you could be driving around in. Stop in at your local Madison dealer to peek at the new Jaguar XK.
